Question
Answer
Enterobacteriacaea (ALL)   Gram (-) Catalase (+) Oxidase (-) Ferment Glucose MacConkey Agar bacillus(rods) non-spore forming facultative anaerobe nitrate reducers  
🗑
opppurtunistic pothogens (E. coli, Klebsiella)   normal flora but wrong location (or overabundance)  
🗑
frank pathogens (Salmonella, Shigella)   presence in any amount is considered indicative of disease  
🗑
not good in lower respiratory tract   klebsiella, Enterobacter, E. coli  
🗑
not good in blood stream   ANYTHING  
🗑
not good in GI Tract   Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia  
🗑
not good in Urinary Tract   Escherichia, Klebsiella  
🗑
Escherichia   UTI, gastroenteritis, meningitis, septicemia, hemorrhagic colitis (EHEC)  
🗑
Shigella   Bacillary dysentery  
🗑
Salmonella   Gastroenteritis, septicemia, enteric fevers(typhoid)  
🗑
Klebsiella   Pneumonia, UTI  
🗑
Yersinia   Gastroenteritis, plague, zoonotic infections  
🗑
Serotyping   identification of surface antigens of isolates  
🗑
3 types of antigens most commonly encountered when serotyping   O=somatic cell wall antigens, H = flagellar antigens, K = capsular antigens  
🗑
MacConkey Agar (Isolation Media)   divides into coliform(lactore fermentors) and non-coliform(noo-lactose fermeters), inhibits gram (+)  
🗑
coliform   E. coli, Klebsiella  
🗑
non-coliform   Salmonella and Shigella  
🗑
coliform bacteria   indictor of water contamination  
🗑
Virulaence factors   Lipip A portion of O antigen (endotoxin), Many have capsule, Phase variation, Exotoxins, Adhesion Factors, Growth Factors, Resistance to Serum, Ab resistance plasmids  
🗑
Exotoxins   Enterotoxins and Cytotoxins  
🗑
Enterotoxin   Heat labile(increases cAMP) and Heat Stable (increases cGMP)  
🗑
Cytotoxins   Shiga toxin(neurotoxic inhibits 60s) and Hemolysins (lysis RBCs free iron)  
🗑
Adhesion Factors   P finbriae = uropathogenesis, s = neonatal Sepsis and meningitis  
🗑
Escherichia coli (E. coli)   most predominate facultative anaerobe normal flora member of Intestinal tract  
🗑
E. coli extra-intestinal infections   UTI, septicemia, neonatal menigitis  
🗑
Intestinal infections(E. coli)   Enteroinvasive(EIEC), Enterotoxigenic (ETEC), Enterohemmorrhagic (EHEC), Enteropathogenic (EPEC), Enteroaggregative (EAECor EaggEC)  
🗑
enteroinvasive(EIEC)   destroys colonic epithelim, becomsed intracellular parasite, Shigellla-like (clinically indistinquishable)  
🗑
enterotoxigenic(ETEC)   makes heat stable and heat labile, major cause of traveller's diarrhea  
🗑
enterohemorrhagic(EHEC)   verotoxin(shiga-like), bloody diarrhea, hemolytic uremic syndrome(HUS)=acute renal failure, serotyping necessary  
🗑
enteropathogenic(EPEC)   nursery outbreaks, secreted factors enhance colonization  
🗑
enteroaggregative (EAEC)   prolonged watery diarrhea, adherence is main virulence factor, common in developing countries  
🗑
invasive organisms   EIEC and shigella  
🗑
adherent organisms   ETEC, EPEC, EAEC  
🗑
penetrent   Salmonella  
🗑
SI infection   ETEC, EPEC, Salmonella  
🗑
LI infection   EIEC, EHEC, Shigella  
🗑
Shigella (dysenteriae, flexneri, boydii, sonnei)   NON-motile, and DO NOT produce gas  
🗑
Mucosal ulcerations, Humans and primates only hosts, Fecal-Oral transmission   Shigella  
🗑
Shigella Diagnosis   Dysentery in 1-4 days, sudden onset of Ab cramps, Diarrhea, fever, blood and mucus in stool, Isolation in SELECTIVE media to confirm  
🗑
Salmonella (typhi, choleraisius, enteritidis)   non fermeter of lactose or sucrose, does produce gas (H2S), not a coliform  
🗑
S. typhi (typhoid fever)   7-14 day incubation, malaise, anorexia, headache, fever  
🗑
Salmonella (gastroenteritis)   8-48 hours afrter eating infected food, meats and poultry, initially headache, chills, ab pain, followed by nausea diarhea, vomiting and fever  
🗑
Diagnosis for salmonella   from stool/blood, Widal test for specific aglutinins  
🗑
salmonella treatments   typhoid and septicemia (chloramphenicol w/amp or trimethoprim-sulfomethoxazole)  
🗑
Salmonella Tx duration   at least 2 weeks to avoid relapse due to ability ot survive inside phogocytes  
🗑
gastroenteritis Tx   no antibiotics (will prolong carrier state), Self-limiting  
🗑
Klebsiella   non-motile, encapsulated, lactose fermenter  
🗑
Main virulence factor (Klebsiella)   capsule which inhibits phagocytosis  
🗑
Yersinia (pestis, enterocolitica, pseudotuberculosis)   mainly animal pathogens, but can cause severe disease  
🗑
Y. pestis   Black Plague  
🗑
Y. pseudotuberculosis   pseudo appendicitis, lesions...self-limiting  
🗑
Y. enterocolitica   enterocolitis(primarily), fever, diarrhea, ab pain ...self-limiting  
🗑
